I was just wondering how many folks out there that shoot USPSA or IDPA matches got their start in the Burnsville Pistol Range Winter League. I know of one that I see here occasionally, but I'm curious if there are more. FWIW, our first match was December, 1995, and we've held the matches every winte...

Due to a scheduling conflict, the Orientation will NOT be on 9/14! It will now be on 9/21. The first match will be on 9/28.

The Orientation will start at 6PM.

Thanks for your patience.

There's no way of telling except by counting the folks that call ahead. We've had so many they had to stand in the hallway (I think the room capacity is 20) and as few as two. If you come, it will be at least one!

We will be starting the 23rd season of matches at BPR this September. Here's the schedule: Orientation (with 1 short stage): 9/14/2017 Matches 1-13: 9/21/2017, 10/12, 10/26, 11/2, 11/16, 12/7, 12/21, 1/11/2018, 1/25 2/8, 2/22, 3/8, 3/22 Trophy Night (and "fun" match): 4/12/2018 Matches are...

Wonder if they'd upgrade my 550 for free??

Other than his history being skewed, it was an interesting report.

Thanks, BD.

Hoping to get back on the pony for the next match. I have a rules question though. I managed to dislocate my pinky finger on my strong hand. Is it OK to buddy tape my finger and shoot the match? Not sure if this would run afoul of any of the rules, and I am looking at a several month recovery based...

Good luck to you, Bob. As a "displaced" Arizona boy, I can appreciate what you're getting.

And if someone tells you to "shake your shoes before putting them on," believe them! [I didn't...once!]

Hi all, Once again, we're running USPSA-style matches at BPR this winter.

Get a holster, spare mags and mag carriers, and shoot it as much as you can. If you can, shoot it in a match where they let you enter that caliber (not any USPSA match, but Burnsville Pistol Range Winter League permits it). [Disclaimer: I'm the match director, but get no money for doing it.]

Depends how many people show up before you. It also helps if you've pre-registered (which I think closes tomorrow - Wednesday).

The best time (smallest crowds) is Sunday AM.

Starts at 9AM.

Anyone a member? I'm thinking about becoming a member and have a few questions. 1. Since they do USPSA and IDPA events. I assume rapid fire, holster work, etc. is ok? 2. What are the pistol bays like? Decent condition? Not a muddy mess all the time? 3. Is there room on the rifle range to do some no...
